If I remember right.

OK - they are tight for sure.
Use the heat gun whenever you can, even when the motor is broken in. If I am running my motors at home I always use the heat gun every time to save any uneccessary wear and tear.
Change the rod at 2 gal and you will be fine. Your Gen 5 crank should be sweet as. They are a big improvement on the previous Gen 4 and older cranks.
